The Federal Government, yesterday, gave reason for the
cancellation of the training of Nigerian soldiers by American security experts,
attributing it to logistic problem.
The U.S. Government, through its Embassy in Abuja on Monday
said in a statement that "At the request of the Nigerian government, the
United States will discontinue its training of a Nigerian Army battalion."
But Nigerian government explained that it did not cancel the
training, but that the condition placed down by US government was not healthy
for the security of lives and property of its citizens, particularly those in
the north east region.
The conditions, according to it, include withdrawing of some
military equipment from the battle field, so that the American could use them
to train the soldiers,
